Jerseys Legislature Still Unorsanizea.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 20-The political aspect
here is unchanged The scare that was said to
be expected vanished in smoke, and wheE Secre
tary Reading called the Senate to order this
afternoon eight members, all Republicans,
answered to their uanes Not Democrat was
on the ground On motion of Senator Fish, the
organization of the Senate was postponed until
to morrow morning at 10 o'clock. and the meet
ing adjourned until that time. Tomorrow they
will go through the same farce.
A handful of Republicans held caucus after
the adjournment. to confer about the contested
elections committee appointed yesterday in the
House, and to decide about organizing The re-
suit was that there will be organization to-
morrow, but possibly on Monday. Enough men
will be kept the ground to prevent any
counter movement of the Democrats.
Nothing authentic can be learned about the
time of organizing. When Senator is asked
concerning il, he says that he does not know and
it looks if they did not 1t is possible that the

THAT OLD CLAIM.
Bayards Motive for His Attack on Curtin
How the 5000 Debt Originated.

How the 5000 Debt Originated.
Warrington Special.
The latest attack of Bayard on Curtin has cre-
ated great dea. of talk here. The knowing
ores all attribute the bringing forward of the
5000 claim at this time to fear on the part of
Bayard that MIR. Curtin would be given the Aus
trian mission. There is very little doubt that
the President had about made MP his mind to
send Curtin to Vienna when this matter was
brought up Bayard. The influence back of Cur
tin was very strong. and no one had better
chances for the appointment 1t was admitted
that Curtin was good man for the place. and
WAS entitled to such q recognition from his
party.
The claim that 5000 was dne the government
from Mr.. Curtin when embassador to st, Peters
burg, was brought out soon after Curtins depos-
al from the craftsmanship of the committee on
foreign affairs There has been much CORE
spondence in regard to it, and there is little
doubt it will be satisfactorily settled. While
Curtin was in st. Petersburg his cashier and
confidential clerk WAS man named Townsend.
On the return of Mr.. Curtin. Townsend preceded
him to Washington, and settled up all the affairs
of the embassy. He brought back receipts in
full to Mr. Curtin for all claims OF the govern
ment, and, naturally, Curtin never thought any
more about it until the claim was made. He
has not seen Townsend for years. and, for a
month or more, he has been seeking him through
out the country. The ex Minister'S papers are
| at Beiefonte; many OF them being in the old
law Office OF Curtin & Blanchard. Mr.. Blanch-
| ard died recently, and there mag be some di "a
| Guilty in finding the vouchers and receipts. The
| question is one OF principle with Curtin. and ne
| will not nay the claim at present He is rich,
and the money question is a trifing considera-
tion to him He thinks, naturally. that all tho
debts wore settled an, and that there is some
mistake about this $500 OF contingent expenses
| OF the legation.
There can be no doubt that Bavard has fred
this shot with some purpose ia view. and if it is
| not the Austrian mission il IL difficult to tell
| what it is.
There 10 considerable gossip about Comptroller
Dunhams attitude 10 this matter. Durham was
appointed 1T thu instance Of Pr. Randall. and it
Is natural to suppose that Mr.. Randall has been
1 consulted in regard to such action concerning
| SO prominent n Pennsylvsnia Congressman as
| Curtin. Neither Randall nor Curtin speaks To
Bayard, and their relations are of the most un-
pleasant and even unfriendly kind. It locks
queer. therefore, to sss Raudalls apDointee gan
ming for . man who has always been 4 close DO
litical friend and colleague Of Randall, and
queerer still that it should be done at the insti

Institufion for the Feeble. Minded.

70 the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal.
Calling upon the General Assembly, have
discovered a needed interest in providing accom-
modations for the education of the Predetermined
children CT the State apart from those who are
endowed with greater intellectual ability.
Our State hitherto no doubt from an eye to
economy, made. think, great mistake in at
tempting to educate these classes together
While in England little north of Liverpool
had full opportunity of learning the results
of long and practical experience. The institu-
ton visited had about four hundred feeble
minded boys and girls in training. They exhib-
tied every stage of deficiency and were instruct
ed in great variety of pursuits Penmanship,
drawing. the use of tools, the construction of
various articles of use in Che house and on the
farm, were objects to test their competing
skill.
I inquired of the managers whether they
would not learn more successfully TO be associ-
ated with those who were mora skillfulf The
answer was prompt and positive The reverse is
most practical When they see some one do
much better than themselves they become de-
spondent and discouraged, and haven't courage
to try; but when they see some one make an at
tempt better than themselves. they are at
once inspired with an ambition to excel This
incentive is the key to success; therefore such
institutions do far better entirely separate from
more rational minds except their teachers
1t is a work of very great patience and per-
sistency. Many children who at one time
seemed hopeless, when kept long under skillful
teachers, have at last become walked and in
snired to effort, and the latent powers of intel
Iect have been brought into action successfully
and great work accomplished
When liberated from the flesh their souls may
be found as rational as ours, and shine forth in
beauty in the upper home Of the soul.
The institution of which speak is perhaps
the best of the kind in the world. 1t is sus
tanned by annual subscriptions by the Queen,
the Crown Prince, the royal family, the mobiles.
the gentry ali over England, and does honor to
modern civilization.
1t is to be hoped that the State of Indiana will
still advance in her great diversity of charities,
providing suitably for the wants of all her chill

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.
Chances Thought Favorable for the Election
of a STRAIGHT Republican in Nebraska

Chances Thought Favorable for the Election
of Straight Republican in Nebraska.
LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 20.-Tha two branches of
the Legislature met at noon and took one ballot
for United States Senator. Van Wyck gained
five Democratic votes and lost two Republicans,
his total vote standing at 60 on the completion
of the call Weaver had seventeen votes and
the remainder were scattered.
Indications at 1890 this evening are favorable
to the election of straight Republican as
United States Senator by the Legislature to-
morrow After marshaling all of their forces.
including Democratic sympathizers, in joint
convention to-day. the Van Wyck men found
themselves seven votes short, and the VanWyck
Republicans finally consented to 60 into caucus
with the straight" Republicans The caucus is
now in session. with something over eighty FIVE
members. There is some wranglng over stip-
ulation proposed by twerty-four Van Wvckers,
that either Van Wyck or Congressman Weaver
be made the caucus nominee, but it is expected
that this difficulty will be settled. The straight
Republicans claim that even If these twenty four
refuse to be bound by the action of the caucus,
enough will remain to elect the nominee.
